The VTC solenoids are on the opposite side of the cam gears inside the cam gears (intake) are only the VTC Springs

In the middle of this job right now . No need to remove CAS. Covers slides right over it . Also I haven't replaced my pulley bolts yet . Going back out to do so now .... Wish me luck . Wish I could find a video showing how to remove them with out snapping them in half.

Very True- Do not Remove the CAS, just unplug it. I realize my timing may be off since I did this, I just got the tools to check it recently. It may explain why my idle is so high.

Yeah picked up a 300zx last week got it running and the timing belt exploded at 6k rpm i looked in the cylinders no damage watched this video put the new belt on and it started right up thanks bro

Well that was lucky
@thirdpedalnirvana Жыл бұрын
That was extremely lucky. The 300zx has an interference engine, losing the timing belt at 6k should have bent some valves. But if it's all running good now, I'm glad I could help!

@@gnarkill32 True, but its not a bad idea to do the timing belt when you're in there, especially if you don't know when it was last done.

That particular style of key is called a Woodruff key. I must of installed 40,000 of them on diesel engines.

I must have installed 40,000 freeze plugs also. Set the plug on a drift and brush on a gooey sealant, set with a hammer. Detroit Diesel 76-82

I have had my car for years and I should’ve asked you this a long time ago. Where did you get the book from with the diagram and everything in it for your 300zx 1991 to 1993 …..,, need your help. I need a copy of the book you use.
@thirdpedalnirvana Жыл бұрын
It was a manual that had the procedure for many cars of many brands, I think the brand was AutoData? I'm not sure but it's not as useful as you think. It definitely does not have wiring diagrams or anything else besides the timing belt procedure. Nissan did produce service manuals, and while those are hard to come by in physical form, you can usually find people distributing PDF copies on the forums.

I wedged some card stock under the belt to hold it against the crank gear in order to install by my lonesome.

How reliable are the non turbo Nissan 300ZX in your opinion for a daily driver?

My 94' has been exceptional during my 80k ownership. Doing belt now at 98k. NA,manual,nice upgrades,adult owned,for sale.
@thirdpedalnirvana Жыл бұрын
Sorry I'm late with this. The 300ZX NA is a very reliable, or should I say, very dependable car. I say dependable because things do break, and when they break, they are hard to fix, and can be costly - but RARELY does anything break that prevents you from driving. You can take it anywhere an be reasonably certain you are going to get home. I've only ever had to tow it because of alternator failure (my fault for running an underdrive pulley), fan belt failure (my fault because I heard the squealing and didn't fix it), and clutch failure (not my fault). It's kind of like an old Toyota, not in the ease of fixing it (very much not), but in that it just refuses to quit. It can be half broken and still drive.

when rotating the engine, doesn't the tensioner gap change?
@thirdpedalnirvana Жыл бұрын
Yes, it can, but in my case it didn't move much, so no further adjustment was needed. The manual shows what it looks like when it's wrong, and it's obvious- either the two bits of metal are touching, I.E. too tight, or way too wide. If the two bits of metal are nearly parallel, you're all good. It moved so little that I didn't have to do any more adjustment.

How do you stop motor on automatic for install
@fourtwozero7 жыл бұрын
Remove starter motor, stick flathead screwdriver in flywheel.
@mbfuturex7 жыл бұрын
Just a small correction. The plugs you referred to as "freeze" plugs are not that at all. They are called welch plugs or core plugs. The only purpose they have is in the casting process of the heads or block.
@thirdpedalnirvana4 жыл бұрын
Actually, we are both right, Matt. They are indeed welch/core plugs and are important in the casting of the block, but if they served no other purpose, they could be tack welded the covers in place to prevent them from ever popping out. They do double-duty as configured, minimizing the risk of cold temperatures on the engine (when parked)

Nice Vid. You still have your Z? I did my 91 Z na also. It was fun doing it the first time by myself. Need to get back into replacing the intake cams. Those dame oil leaks... so annoying.
@thirdpedalnirvana4 жыл бұрын
Yep, still have her. I've owned an '85 RX-7, which I sold, and a golf, which I sold, and a manual lexus is300, which is my daily now, but I still have the Z. I had to do the timing belt again about 20k miles after this video because I didn't replace the idler pulley, and the idler pulley went bad. Got the cam seals at the same time. New toy is a 1984 BMW 533i.

Ok I just don't see the helpful tips of this video at all because all the fame and glory is seeing how you actually did the belt amd not how you expailn it. But oh well
